THREE BASEBALL OAKLAND EVENTS DURING OPENING WEEK IN APRIL — AND YOU’RE ALL INVITED

Ever since the 2012 season ended on that cold October night at the Coliseum, we know you marked Opening Night — April 1, 2013 — on your calendar. You can’t wait for Oakland A’s baseball to start up again, and neither can we.Which is why we’ve planned a week-long slate of A’s baseball festivities, to celebrate the world’s best game in the great city of Oakland. Here’s the lineup:MONDAY, APRIL 1 — Opening Night Tailgate
1 p.m. to 6:45 p.m.
Oakland Coliseum Parking Lot

FRIDAY, APRIL 5 — Friday Night Road Game TV “Tailgate”
5 p.m. to 8 p.m., at Caña (Cuban Bar & Restaurant), at 530 Lake Park Ave. in Oakland
Watch A’s vs. Astros on TV with Baseball Oakland and friends, as we enjoy great Cuban-flavored food and drinks. (Word on the street is that Caña is Yoenis Cespedes’ favorite Oakland hangout.)

SUNDAY, APRIL 7 — Watch the A’s on the Big Screen at The New Parkway
11 a.m. to 2 p.m., at The New Parkway Theater, at 474 24th Street in Oakland
“Moneyball” isn’t the only chance you have to watch the A’s on the silver screen.
Watch A’s vs. Astros on a big movie screen at The New Parkway, which is also a restaurant that serves food and drinks (yes, they have beer) in the theater while you watch the game.
